Result Analysis

The declaration of the GPSC Class 1 & 2 2025 result brings clarity and relief to thousands of candidates. The cut-offs this year appear to be slightly higher compared to previous years, especially in the General and EWS categories. This suggests a tougher competition and potentially higher average performance in the prelim exam.

Candidates qualifying the preliminary exam now need to shift their focus towards the mains exam preparation, which will be more analytical and subject-specific.

Next Stage: Mains Examination

Candidates who have cleared the preliminary round will now be eligible to appear for the GPSC Class 1 & 2 Mains Examination. The mains exam is a descriptive test and is considered to be the most crucial phase in the selection process.

• Mains Exam Pattern (Expected):
• Gujarati Language – Descriptive
• English Language – Descriptive

Essay

• General Studies Paper 1
• General Studies Paper 2
• General Studies Paper 3
• General Studies Paper 4

Each paper is designed to assess a candidate’s depth of knowledge, comprehension, communication skills, and analytical ability. The weightage of mains is significantly higher than prelims, and performance here is crucial in final selection.

Personality Test / Interview
Candidates who clear the mains will be shortlisted for the final stage – Personality Test or Interview, which carries significant marks and helps assess the candidate's personality traits, decision-making abilities, ethical standpoint, and knowledge of current affairs and administrative aptitude.
